< 1 Timothy 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Meshikha Yeshua according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Meshikha Yeshua our hope;
παυλος αποστολος χριστου ιησου κατ επιταγην θεου σωτηρος ημων και χριστου ιησου της ελπιδος ημων
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Meshikha Yeshua our Lord.
τιμοθεω γνησιω τεκνω εν πιστει χαρις ελεος ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος και χριστου ιησου του κυριου ημων
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain people not to teach a different doctrine,
καθως παρεκαλεσα σε προσμειναι εν εφεσω πορευομενος εις μακεδονιαν ινα παραγγειλης τισιν μη ετεροδιδασκαλειν
4 neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith?
μηδε προσεχειν μυθοις και γενεαλογιαις απεραντοις αιτινες εκζητησεις παρεχουσιν μαλλον η οικονομιαν θεου την εν πιστει
5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
το δε τελος της παραγγελιας εστιν αγαπη εκ καθαρας καρδιας και συνειδησεως αγαθης και πιστεως ανυποκριτου
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;
ων τινες αστοχησαντες εξετραπησαν εις ματαιολογιαν
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.
θελοντες ειναι νομοδιδασκαλοι μη νοουντες μητε α λεγουσιν μητε περι τινων διαβεβαιουνται
8 But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,
οιδαμεν δε οτι καλος ο νομος εαν τις αυτω νομιμως χρηται
9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,
ειδως τουτο οτι δικαιω νομος ου κειται ανομοις δε και ανυποτακτοις ασεβεσιν και αμαρτωλοις ανοσιοις και βεβηλοις πατρολωαις και μητρολωαις ανδροφονοις
10 for the sexually immoral, for men who have sexual relations with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound teaching;
πορνοις αρσενοκοιταις ανδραποδισταις ψευσταις επιορκοις και ει τι ετερον τη υγιαινουση διδασκαλια αντικειται
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
κατα το ευαγγελιον της δοξης του μακαριου θεου ο επιστευθην εγω
12 And I thank him who enabled me, Meshikha Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;
χαριν εχω τω ενδυναμωσαντι με χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων οτι πιστον με ηγησατο θεμενος εις διακονιαν
13 although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
το προτερον οντα βλασφημον και διωκτην και υβριστην αλλα ηλεηθην οτι αγνοων εποιησα εν απιστια
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Meshikha Yeshua.
υπερεπλεονασεν δε η χαρις του κυριου ημων μετα πιστεως και αγαπης της εν χριστω ιησου
15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Meshikha Yeshua came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
πιστος ο λογος και πασης αποδοχης αξιος οτι χριστος ιησους ηλθεν εις τον κοσμον αμαρτωλους σωσαι ων πρωτος ειμι εγω
16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Yeshua Meshikha might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life. (aiōnios )
αλλα δια τουτο ηλεηθην ινα εν εμοι πρωτω ενδειξηται χριστος ιησους την απασαν μακροθυμιαν προς υποτυπωσιν των μελλοντων πιστευειν επ αυτω εις ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios )
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
τω δε βασιλει των αιωνων αφθαρτω αορατω μονω θεω τιμη και δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην (aiōn )
18 This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;
ταυτην την παραγγελιαν παρατιθεμαι σοι τεκνον τιμοθεε κατα τας προαγουσας επι σε προφητειας ινα στρατευη εν αυταις την καλην στρατειαν
19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;
εχων πιστιν και αγαθην συνειδησιν ην τινες απωσαμενοι περι την πιστιν εναυαγησαν
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexandros; whom I delivered to Satana, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
ων εστιν υμεναιος και αλεξανδρος ους παρεδωκα τω σατανα ινα παιδευθωσιν μη βλασφημειν
